Is this my error? Am I wrong now?

Unlikely if they changed the port from 22 to something arbitrary and set up port forwarding on their router. Besides, if you did connect you would either need to know the user name and password or have a public key authentication set up in order to connect. Then once you connected, it would be like you are actually at the machine and in the shell. From there you can run commands.
